IVP 07/08

First day of IVP is finally over. Though it's my pet event, it's also my most dreaded event cause it's super super long... 200m BREAST!!! Super killer. And so I went Toa Payoh yesterday evening thinking I was only supposed to swim 200m breast. Then Dinah got injured after her 800 free and I took over as her reserve. An additional 200m free. And then I wasn't supposed to be in the mixed relay either!!! But Carson came along and told us to change those swimming in it. So end up, I sprinted a total of 200m breast and 250m free. Totally died after that. But I felt quite relieved that I didn't swim too badly for my VERY LAST IVP.

200m breast - 1st :)
200m free - 6th (CUI)
4 x 50m mixed free relay - 2nd (But I think the 1st team was disqualified cause they put in 3 guys and 1 girl. It's supposed to be MIXED. So 2 guys 2 girls...)

Well, I guess our NUS team did pretty fine for Day 1 of IVP 07/08. Feel so happy for Zhiyun for getting 3rd for 200m breast!!! :) Isabelle got 2 silvers also!!! Pro to the MAX!!! And Dinah too!!! She got 2nd for 800m free despite her injury. But I'm very sure she would have done much better than me if she had swam the 200m free yesterday as compared to this goner here in freestyle. CUI TO THE MAX. So throw face lo. Sigh. Was complaining to Kenley about it yesterday. Totally hopeless and gone case for free. SIGH... SOMEBODY PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO SWIM FREE CAN???!!! Sad to the max.

Anyway, there's polo training tonight at Toa Payoh. It's actually a polo trial where all of us have to sprint 50m and 100m freestyle. Sai Meng wants our timings. Die for sure... Followed by passing, shooting and leg work. Pretty worried about my passing and shooting also. Totally CMI lo. Sigh... I'm bored man. I just had an interview with the NUS Bizad Club regarding my sports award in October last year. Then they took some pictures of me. Hopefully I look good man. If it's something like the posters that was all around NUS last Oct, I think I'll really jump down from five storeys. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Ok, I'm quite hungry now. Shall go hunt for food. Kekeke :p
